How long does renuva filler last in the cheeks? I've read that it only lasts a year, is it dependent on the amount injected?

Renuva only lasts 3 months, but the results will last for 10 years, or more!

When injected Renuva creates a honeycomb-like matrix, made of the same growth factors, collagens and proteins as your own fat.

Over the course of 3 months following the injection, Renuva dissolves, leaving your body's own fat behind.

The results are age-defying and long-lasting. Studies show that fat cells can live up to 10 years and sometimes longer.

Renuva is a unique off-the-shelf treatment that contains a honeycomb-like matrix that is replaced by one's own fat cells over the course of 12 weeks. The fat cells that remain are long-lasting with some studies showing 7-10years, if not longer. The treatment can be safely done in the office and can be injected into anywhere that fat normally exists. Small volume rejuvenation such as done for the cheeks is an excellent example of where Renuva can be injected.

Yes, it does last longer but does depend on the amount injected. You will know if you need more after about 3 months. Renuva is a groundbreaking new treatment – the first of its kind – used to replace age-related fat loss without having to harvest fat from the patient with liposuction.When injected, Renuva creates a framework to attract the body's own fat.The Renuva framework will dissolve within 3 months after the injection, but your body's own fat is left behind, which creates beautiful, natural-looking results. The fat in the treated area will last as long as your fat cells normally live. That varies from person to person, but several published studies report that fat cells can live up to 10 years.
